I have a few that I am happy about being able to do soon.
*** Sitting on a chair without my arms folded in front of me to hide my flubbers.
*** Being comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit to the beach.
*** Not being so insecure that I need a jacket everywhere I go to hide my body.
*** My back, ankle and knee not hurting anymore.
*** Taking a crazy amount of pictures at places I go to.
I'm tired of being ashamed of my appearance... Good luck to everyone!

Here's me 13lbs shy of my heaviest weight of 333 last summer and me two days ago at 233!!
And I have no idea why the picture loaded twice!Ok, I guess it didn't.

My face comparison.
one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Sorry you are still feeling so bad. I had a follow up Thursday with my surgeon and he cleared me for all exercise. I have also been cleared for exercise from my other doctor for my blood clots. I still need to see the hemotologist for my apt but i did actually see him at work this week and we talked a bit about my situation. I had to reschedule with him because work has been crazy. I have been able to eat anything I want. I ate some pork tenderloin tonight. I went to costco today and had a few samples and I was so full! They had really good chicken meatballs! I try to cook at home but yesterday we when out to Red Robin. I ordered a chicken salad. I hate ordering a full meal because I can't eat much. I have lost 27lbs. Next week I will start full exercise at the Y.

44, 320, 5'3" the doctor's nurse said I have to lose at least 178lbs. I don't have my surgery date yet. I go for my pre-op on 7/12/16

Yes! I even tested it with some very thin turkey deli and laughing cow cream cheese. It was great... nice to chew again.. everything turned out okay.

I was starting to feel discouraged but I do see a difference in my face!

As long as you are not barfing now, then it's fine. I had a couple links of my husband's ice cream last week. It's all good! Just don't over do it. One bite will not completely screw you up. Just don't do it everyday.

So, officially, I gained 5.6 pounds taking in those liquids. I took in 2 liters a day for 2 days. The first day I didn't pee at all. The second day I peed all day and all last night.
So considering I'm good with liquids (because I can take 64oz now) my weigh in today put me at 28 pounds since surgery... bummer... I was so close to ONEderland... sigh.. what can you do? It's not like I'm at my starting weight, right? Lol
On a bright note, the benadryl helped a lot. My hives are mostly gone. I'm going back to Pepcid today and wait for my lame doctor to respond.
The only problem now is Protein.. I can't stomach it for the life of me. I've tried a variety of brands and all of them make me want to throw up right after.

Oh thank you thank you thank you.... that's all i needed to hear!!! I just got off the phone with a nurse on call.... she gave me an iffy response... how can i trust that? I just want to live.... lol I'm on my way to Walgreens..
Thanks again @@yescres07 ????

I asked a pharmacist at Target and he looked at me like, I don't know... I just thought... well you're the one with the license. Geez...I think it's from the new medication the doctor put me on. That's when they started... but i just brushed it off like maybe it was something that bit me. Then the next morning i had more.. so bad that i thought maybe i had lice.. i don't know what to do.. i put cortizone but I'm getting new ones.

Aw, thank you.

I'd give you a big ole hug right now if I could! People say wls is the easy way out.. They couldn't be further from the truth!
